[quote=Anonymous]Mine started freshman year in Sept 2020. I was *thrilled* that campus was open and that they did everything possible to have as normal a year as possible. Many friends from high school did not get to go to their campus and spent the first semester or the first year at home. Several of them are really struggling now. We have failure to launch in our family and it is not good for anyone. We also have sad grandparents who are really unpleasant to be around and who are very nosy and imposing. My kid knows that I am adamantly against them being unable to sustain their own independent adult life. And I am very aware of how not enjoyable it is to have parents who put all their happiness expectations on adult children. I happily waved goodbye and continue to encourage all paths to independence. Whenever I feel sad, I make sure to get a dose of our failure to launch family and I don't feel sad anymore. I started playing a new sport, reinvigorated my career, and we are buying a vacation place.[/quote]
